About V85.7XXA
V85.7XXA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for person on outside of special construction vehicle injured in nontraffic accident, initial encounter. It belongs to category V85 (occupant of special construction vehicle injured in transport accident), block V80-V89 (other land transport accidents) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E822.8 (other motor vehicle nontraffic accident involving collision with moving object injuring other specified person).
